Autor: Silva, Catarina Isabel Simões Pires
Resumo: Dioxygen is a ubiquitous electron acceptor in aerobic biological systems,
playing a vital role in many biological processes upon its activation and
reduction. However, the precise routes through which such mechanisms
occur are still poorly understood for many enzyme families. The work
presented in this dissertation focuses on Multi-copper oxidases (MCOs), a
family of enzymes able to couple the one-electron oxidation of a vast
array of substrate molecules with the four-electron reduction of dioxygen
to water.(...)
